Weight age of each numeric column/ variable and then filter out

gaurav21s — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 13:56:15 GMT

Hi there, I am a beginner in SAS. I have attached an excel for your assistance..

please can anyone tell me the code to :

1. Calculate the weight age of all the numeric columns in a data set (sum/ total sample size) and accordingly filter out those columns/ variables which have a weight age of less than 2%. The filtered output is stored in a new data set. (step 1 tab in the excel file attached)

2. As per the step 2 in the excel file attached, I now want to use proc logistic and get the desired output as given in the step 2 tab of the excel.

It would be really kind of you to provide the complete code as I am new to SAS.

How Many thanks for your co operation and time !!

Not sure that this makes sense from a statistical analysis point of view.

To find the variables with at least 2% positive response rate for binary variables you can just take the MEAN.

You do not need to generate a new version of the source data, just the list of variables to include in your analysis.

Here is one way to get the list of variables with at least 2% positive responses into the macro variable VARLIST.

proc summary data=HAVE ;

var _numeric_;

output out=means (drop=_type_ _freq_);

run;

proc transpose data=means out=vertical;

id _stat_;

run;

proc sql noprint ;

select _name_ into :varlist separated by ' '

from vertical

where mean > 0.02

;

quit;

%put varlist=&varlist;

Dear Tom,

Thanks for your assistance. I will try this code and update you soon with what I intend to do here

Kind regards

Dear Tom,

I successfully ran your code

I, then tried the point no. 2 as mentioned in the initial question - "to use proc logistic and get the desired output as given in the 'step 2' tab of the excel".

proc summary data=Experiment ;

var _numeric_;

output out=means (drop=_type_ _freq_);

run;

proc transpose data=means out=vertical;

id _Stat_;

run;

proc sql ;

select _name_ into :varlist separated by ' '

from vertical

where mean > 0.02

;

quit;

%put varlist=&varlist;

PROC LOGISTIC DATA=?? descending;

MODEL detractor = ?? ;

RUN;

I am trying to figure out, how do I assign only those independent variables which have a mean value greater than 0.02 and more importantly get the desired output as shown in the step 2 tab of the excel attached. I believe there would some selection (forward backward etc)..

Thank you so much for taking out time to read all this
